You will take responsibility for the overall progress within each project, and liaise with the Project Board to ensure the overall direction and integrity of the project.

The role will require you to develop excellent working relationships with our customers and suppliers, to understand their requirements and work with them throughout the project life cycle during and after implementation of any solutions.

About You

You’ll be an experienced Project Manager, with a working knowledge of the full life cycle of an ICT software system. You’ll also need a good standard of education and a passion for delivering high quality IT projects to meet complex user requirements.

With a good knowledge of local government business and processes, you’ll be able to provide sound project management for complex ICT projects. You’ll also have a solid understanding of how modern technologies can be integrated to deliver world-class IT infrastructure, with experience in developing business cases for technology implementations.

The ability to manage, communicate and work effectively with a wide range of stakeholders to ensure IT architecture meets the needs of the business is essential. Experience of delivering projects using a recognised project management technique such as Prince 2 would be an advantage.

A driving licence and own transport is essential (although reasonable adjustments may be possible) as you will be required to travel regularly to attend meetings at our other sites.
